More than 40 people learn about becoming better parents and about the organization's vital work
More than 40 guests came to learn about mindful parenting at a workshop sponsored by UJA-Federation of New York at Congregation B’nai Yisrael of Armonk on Wednesday, January 7th. Chappaqua resident Jodi Baretz, a licensed clinical social worker and certified health and wellness coach, shared tips and techniques to use the principles of mindfulness to raise happy, resilient children. In private practice at the Center for Health and Healing in Mount Kisco, Baretz has more than 20 years experience providing clinical services, psychotherapy, and nutritional and career counseling.
Event Chair Jen Sokol of Armonk told the gathering that UJA-Federation supports many programs and services that benefit families, in New York and in 70 countries around the world.
“There’s so much that UJA-Federation supports in our own backyard that we may take advantage of at different times in our lives, whether that’s day school or afterschool religious school, Jewish camping opportunities, JCC programs, mental-health guidance, support for kids with special needs, and so much more.,” she said. “We’re proud to provide essential children and family services through our network of beneficiary agencies and grantees.
